This paper investigates the information-theoretic limits of energy-harvesting (EH) channels in the finite blocklength regime. The EH process is characterized by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with finite variances. We use the…

In the setting of a Gaussian channel without power constraints, proposed by Poltyrev, the codewords are points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space (an infinite constellation) and the tradeoff between their density and the error probability…

The paper derives the optimal second-order coding rate for the continuous-time Poisson channel. We also obtain bounds on the third-order coding rate. This is the first instance of a second-order result for a continuous-time channel. The…

Traditional asymptotic information-theoretic studies of the fundamental limits of wireless communication systems primarily rely on some ideal assumptions, such as infinite blocklength and vanishing error probability. While these assumptions…

A channel coding achievability bound expressed in terms of the ratio between two Neyman-Pearson $\beta$ functions is proposed. This bound is the dual of a converse bound established earlier by Polyanskiy and Verd\'{u} (2014). The new bound…

We propose two types of universal codes that are suited to two asymptotic regimes when the output alphabet is possibly continuous. The first class has the property that the error probability decays exponentially fast and we identify an…
